Great Value With Amigo Rugs

Just about everyone today shops on line. It has the advantages of being very fast and easy. Most people, especially horse owners, are very busy and need to make the most of their time. Simply logging on to a sight and making a few clicks enables them to shop for just what they need. Purchases are then shipped to their home and are ready to use in a few days.

Horse clothing and equipment is also available on line. There are many sites to chose from as well as e Bay and other classified sites. The great range of Amigo rugs means that there is something to fit every horse or pony. From a tiny miniature horse to a huge draft animal, there are some excellent products that not only keep them warm in winter, but also cool in summer.

For many years horses and owners were stuck with badly fitting and ineffective rugs. They had not been improved in many years and were full of problems. Most outdoor blankets were heavy, impossible to keep clean and typically leaked. Horses were left for hours with soaked backs and this led to many skin conditions.

Horseware realized that they had to go back to the beginning and totally redesign the rug from the ground up. This mean adding much more fabric to make a really generous cut that prevents rubbing. Extra deep sides also offers a lot more protection from the weather. A one piece rug that eliminates seams is much better that one with a lot of seams that often become weak areas that are prone to rip and leak.

The Hero brand turn out rug is one of the most popular designs. It incorporates many excellent features such as a 600 denier polyester shell that is strong and rain resistant. The front leg arches are well cut to allow freedom of movement for the horse. The polyester lining helps to keep the coat smooth and polished. It is available in pony and horse sizes and in a great variety of colors.

After exercise the horses will typically be hot and sweaty. Having a range of coolers on hand is very important. A horse can easily catch a chill if not covered, especially in cold weather. In addition the stable or turn out rug cannot be put on until the animal is thoroughly dry. It can take a while to wick away the moisture but the new line of Amigo coolers can really do the job well.

The Bug Rug is a great turn out and combo fly sheet that has proved very popular with owners. It is perfect for light skinned and sensitive animals who are really bothered by the flies in the warmer months. It also provides a lot of UV protection.

The fleece blanket is a great addition to any tack trunk. It can be used alone for warmth on those chilly spring or fall nights. It also makes a great liner to add under the stable rug for clipped horses in the bitter cold of winter.
